Hi. I'm Raine O'Brien, and these blogs will allow readers to feel what I feel, and think what I think, and know what I know. Each entry will be a piece of me being typed up and put on a website, exposing me and my thoughts to the outside world. My mom has always told me I have a talent in writing and creating, so I thought I would give this a shot. I'm in the 8th grade attending St. Andrews Episcopal School in Texas. I want these blogs to circulate around the minds of girls going into high school and in high school. I want to write about our troubles and joys as a gender, our losses and gains. I think its not only hard to be a girl in todays society, its hard to be everyone. People will judge and laugh, but you have to be true to yourself. I'm probably going to get jokingly made fun of by my friends for making this blog, but I don't care, because it's fun, and it's what I love doing. I hope you enjoy reading about my up's and down's, embarrassing moments, exciting adventures and much more.

The MEANING.

The meaning of this, all of this, is for you to see inside my mind. To see my thoughts and ideas, to here me out through tough times. I'm hoping that this blog speaks volumes to everyone, not only girls.
